Pope Leo starts his ministry as leader of the Catholic Church with a prayer for special grace to Mary, our God. The translator clearly said, Mary, our God. Did he get it wrong? Maybe he did, but Pope Leo still prayed to Mary, not to our Heavenly Father, who alone can give grace. He also prays to Mary to convert the wicked. This is blasphemy. In this video, Justin Peters looks at every aspect of Pope Leo’s first prayer for the Catholic Church. For me, the fact that it is to Mary makes the Roman Catholic Church a cult.

I have been told that the translator did get it wrong. It should have been Mother of God.
